Abstract: Recycling as domestic waste treatment means recovering materials and returning them to the industrial process. In this way resources can be saved and also it is possible to reduce the energy consumption for production of goods by using waste materials compared with the production of equivalent goods from primary sources.As an example domestic waste recycling shows the repercussions of recycling activities on the balances of raw materials and primary energy. To make comparativeestimates of energy savings, recycling is also compared to waste incineration and pyrolysis. It appears as favourable as incineration and more favourable thanpyrolysis. Therefore in a country without indigenous resources of energy and raw materials, recycling presents itself as the most suitable waste treatment.
